MANICURING SET Application filed Gotoher 8, 1831. Serial No. 567,1E4/

My invention relates to a new and useful manicure set which is compactand of a portable character, so that the manicurist can move it to anydesired point.

it is the present practice for manicurists, when they are working on thehands of a customer sitting in a barbers chair, to at tach to the arm ofthe chair a portable pot or pan containing the soap solution for soakingthe fingers, the balance of the tools or equipment being carried in atray which is held on the lap of the operator. This practice greatlyhandicapped. the operator, since it restricted freedom of movement, andit greatly inconvenienced the person Whose hands are being manicured,since there is no convenient place for him to position his hands, whichusually have to be held in position by the manicurist.

'lo obviate these disadvantages, I have clesigned novel manicuring setmounted on a vertical standard whichis provided with bottom rollers, sothat it may be moved around the floor from one point to another. afleXibie, adjustable lamp carried by said standard, a tray carried bysaid standard in a position under said lamp, a plurality of pots adaptedto contain various ointments and solutions used, a rack adapted tocontain various bottles and receptacles, a pad or rest for the handbeing manicured, and a pot for containing the soap solution said pad andsaid pot being reversibly and detachably secured to the sides of saidtray for the accommodation of the right and the left hand in turn.

My invention further consists of a bottom reversible drawer which can bedrawn to or 40 opened from either side of the platform to render theinstruments thereln immediately accessiole to the operator.

My invention still further relates to various other novel features ofconstruction and advantage, all as hereinafter described and claimed inconnection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Similarly I provide thepad 20which has a bottom pin 2 1 for engaging either of the-aperturedlugs, 10 or 13 to change the position of the pad 20 for the left orright hand position of the operator. The instru ments used are kept inpart in the groove 23 to one side of the glass top 8, the rest of thetools used being kept drawer 25, which i in the sliding reversible scarried under the tray 7' and provided with the double handles 26 sothat the drawer may be pulled out on either side of the tray 7designates a stop for limiting the of the drawer 25.

are positioned the cups 29 which are adapted to contain rouge,

pumice or other ointments, while the stepped rack 30 is provided withseats 31 for su pporting bottles containing the various preparationsused the necks of said bottles projecting through the guide bracket 32carried by the stem 84 immediately above the rack 30. The stem 34kcarries the flexible shaft 86 which supports the light 87 in any desiredposition.
